Barack Obama has issued a stark warning to North Korean despot Kim Jong-un over his nuclear ambitions, declaring that the United States and South Korea stand 'shoulder to shoulder' against him.

The U.S. president said it may be time to consider further sanctions against North Korea 'that have even more bite' as the country is threatening its fourth nuclear test.

He made the comments hours after North Korea made its feelings on his visit clear, sending two DPRK patrol boats into South Korean waters, violating the maritime border and forcing its neighbour to respond with a series of warning shots. Finally the vessels withdrew.

Salim .... the thing is that sometimes the US does not bluff .... they can get angry just like anyone else if they are provoked.

You are correct but the U.S aint showing that they dont bluff especially in the ukrain situation

You must realize that U.S military action or European action could result in global war. No one wants to be involved in such a situation. They are using sanctions and similar methods hoping Russia won't do anything regrettable. If they do, be assured these countries will hopefully act against Russia in some way. I like to think U.S isn't bluffing, just trying to prevent the worst case scenario.

You know Salim I don't much agree with your positions, but I do this time. The thing about the US is don't confuse the administration with the people.
